Waves of one form or another can be found in an amazingly diverse range of physical applications, from the oceans to the science of sound. Put simply, a wave is a traveling disturbance. Ocean waves travel for thousands of kilometers through the water. Earthquake waves travel through the Earth, sometimes bouncing off the core of the Earth and making it all the way back to the surface. Sound waves travel through the air to our ears, where we process the disturbances and interpret them.
Waves on a string | Sounds Amazing - 0 views
-
All kinds of stringed instruments - guitars, pianos, violins - have stretched strings which oscillate when plucked or struck. This oscillation generates sound, which can be amplified acoustically by coupling the vibrations to a large sound-board (for a guitar, the top, and in an upright piano, at the back) or electrically by turning the string oscillations into an electrical signal (using a 'pickup') which can be sent to an electronic amplifier / loudspeaker.

To measure this acceleration we will drop a magnet and measure the time taken for the magnet to travel between two points. This information used with the distance formula below will allow us to calculate the acceleration of the magnet due to gravity.

six subject areas involved in helping students find their way through the project: CAD, careers, English, history, math, and science. There are four components to the project: the research, the printed document, the multimedia presentation, and the board presentation. Each discipline covers a piece of each component. The teacher in each subject area guides the students to think about a discipline and how it relates to aviation. "

Kick-off Team Building Exercise - 0 views
-
This team building exercise was inspired by the Marshmallow Challange, as seen on TED 2010 (www.marshmallowchallenge.com/Welcome.html). The game is designed to have kids quickly work together to model and prototype ideas, evaluate scoring strategies, determine design limitations, etc... It was intentionally designed to force students (and mentors, too!) to evaluate priorities and assumptions.
